The Fool Within

When you can't move forward and there is nothing left to go back to.
When you'd rather be anywhere but home and you ain't got a home in this world no more.
When a minute of sunshine is superseded by days of thunderstorm.
And when your thoughts are fleeing and your ideas are broken.
And when things fall apart before the foundation is laid down.
And your wings are torn off and thrown for the beasts to eat.
And those beasts are nothing but your inner thoughts and demons.

When you have been deceived by the fool within.
You thought he was righteous but he was vain.
When your worst enemy and best friend is one and the same.
When your head tells you it is time to make a change but your heart tells you I will stay behind a while.
And when what isn't right isn't wrong and beer won't get to quench off your thirst.
And there is no drug in the land that can make things better.
And when everything you've known to be true has been proven wrong.

When you have a dream that you can't explain.
And every word you utter, every letter your write fails to express how you feel.
When your thoughts can't be put into words, your words can't be put into sentences and your thoughts are left meaningless to you as well.
When you meet your accuser face to face in the rain.
And all you see is you.

If only I had the ability to express how I truly feel.
Instead of having everything I say or write misinterpreted.
Maybe finally they will know me for who I am.
Maybe finally they can see why I'm always far off and out of sight.
Why should I talk when every word I say is held against me?
Why should I try to express how I feel when it will only be misinterpreted.
Why should be open and sincere when everyone else is fake?
